The first historical mentions of the present village of Tetyń come from the mid-thirteenth century, when the settlement was given to the knight Dietrich Beyer. The original name of the village of Beyersdorf comes from his surname. Later, the village belonged to Pyrzyce. The history of the church in Tetyń, like the beginnings of the village, dates back to the second half of the 13th century. Initially, it was an aisle church built on a rectangular plan of granite cubes, which was arranged in regular layers. At the beginning of the 17th century, the church was rebuilt in accordance with the art of the Renaissance. An eastern gable, topped with a turret, was added to the church, while a sacristy was added on the southern side. In the current construction of the church, we can still see the original elements of the temple's architecture. These are: three ogival windows on the eastern wall, a western portal and a bricked-up southern portal. Further changes were brought by the 18th century, when a tower with an openwork lantern and a baroque cupola was added. The wooden belfry visible from the west comes from the 19th century. When entering the church (under the tower), it is worth paying attention to the barrel vaults from the 13th century. Other noteworthy elements of the interior design are: a Renaissance altar carved in wood, a Gothic limestone baptismal font, organs, tin candlesticks from the 17th century.
